Question 1

Does flipping preserve the animation?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All frames in the animated GIF are flipped together while maintaining the original frame timing, loop count, and transparency settings. The animation plays exactly as before, just mirrored.

Question 2

Why is the Image Compression section not available?

Accepted Answer

GIF uses a fixed LZW compression algorithm — there are no adjustable compression settings. The Image Quality (%) option controls the color quantization quality, which affects how colors are mapped to GIF's 256-color palette.

Question 3

Can I flip and resize at the same time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set your flip direction, then adjust Image Resolution to change the dimensions. Both are applied in a single pass. Reducing resolution also reduces file size for animated GIFs.

Question 4

What is the difference between flip and rotate?

Accepted Answer

Flipping mirrors the image along an axis (horizontal or vertical). Rotating turns the image by an angle (90°, 180°, 270°). A 180° rotation produces the same result as flipping both horizontally and vertically. For rotation, use Rotate GIF.

Question 5

Will the file size change after flipping?

Accepted Answer

The file size may change slightly due to re-encoding, but the difference is typically minimal. The GIF format re-compresses the flipped pixel data, which may produce a slightly different file size than the original.

Question 6

Can I flip a static GIF image?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tool works with both animated and static GIF files. For static GIFs, the single frame is flipped. For animated GIFs, all frames are flipped while preserving the animation.
